stressed — zenitsu, kyojuro, sanemi

Author’s Note: you ARE enough❣️ You ARE loved❣️ You WILL be okay❣️

stressed — zenitsu, kyojuro, sanemi

Agatsuma Zenitsu x Reader, Rengoku Kyojuro x Reader, Shinazugawa Sanemi x Reader

Word Count: ~700

CW: none

Emergency Request Fulfilled: I started taking a lot harder classes this year and it’s killing me and my impostor syndrome because I’m so slow compared to everyone else. It’s making me depressed/stressed so I wanted to request a pick me up request.

stressed — enmu, genya, muichiro

~faqs~

Lowkey gets stressed too 🙃

Does his best to hide it, but Zenitsu’s an open book, so it doesn’t stay hidden for long

Sometimes he’ll even sense your stress before you do

“Are you okay Zeni? You seem stressed.”

“I’m fine!” ☺️

…

*realization hits*

Zenitsu: Are you stressed? 🥺

You: Nooo, you’re stressed! 😒

Zenitsu: But I’m not? 🥲

You: Well your stress is stressing me out! 😖

Zenitsu: But I’m not stressed?! 🫠

*insert Spiderman meme here*

Affirmations

Once you’ve determined that you’re both adequately stressed 💀😂

Zenitsu brings out ✨The Jar of Affirmation✨

Aka your equivalent of scrolling through cheesy, inspirational social media posts when you’re feeling low

Zenitsu: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! 😍

You: YOU ARE CAPABLE! 😎

Zenitsu: YOU ARE SMART! 🤓

You: YOU ARE DETERMINED! 😤

It’s kinda cathartic to yell/be yelled at, y’know? 🥰😆

Lovingly, ofc

Your stress hits close to home for Kyojuro (imposter syndrome, inadequacy), but he’s unsure how to support you

Which is not to say that he doesn’t try

Bc he does try, a lot and often 🥺

But a pin pricking feeling that he isn’t quite cut out for comforting you frequently surfaces

“I can order takeout and build a pillow fort for us to watch a movie in together? Would that be okay?”

Your stress fades to a gentle, manageable pulse as Kyojuro’s tender doubt gnaws at your chest, your arms hugging him into your warmth as you murmur softly

“That would be absolutely perfect. Thank you for taking care of me.”

—

He still questions his ability to ease your burdens as you snuggle into his side, plastic containers and utensils spread out on the fluffy blanket beneath you, a thin canopy of cotton sheet and fairy lights billowing above

Could I have decorated better? 😕

Why did I make us sit on the floor?! 😞

But he allows himself a lingering, adoring smile when you begin making airplane noises, happily opening his mouth to accept your forkful of pad Thai

“I love you!” you grin, darting in to peck his nose

“I wuv y’u too!” he declares, the tips of his ears as red as his heart

He’s convinced that pad Thai’s never tasted so delicious

Knows your favorite snacks better than he knows himself, and won’t hesitate to walk to the corner store to buy you a lil snick snack

“Kyo, it’s almost midnight. I’m fine.” 😝

“Your stomach rumbled.” ☹️

“I can eat in the morning.”

“Fine.”

…

“I shall wait until midnight, at which point it will be morning.” 😎

“What if I fall asleep before you get back?”

“Then I guess you will most certainly eat in the morning.” 😌

Doesn’t let you lift a finger, sometimes to the extent that your stress morphs to anger 🤪

“I said I was stressed, not incapable.” 😐

“Me helping you is a testament of my love, not a commentary on your ability.” 🤨

“You aren’t helping me! You’re infantilizing me!” 😖

“I in fact have not put you in a diaper nor made you suck on a pacifier.” 😃

“I will dye your hair while you’re asleep.” 😒

“Would a spa day reduce your stress?”

“No, but watching your reaction to waking up with green hair would.” 😌

“If you somehow manage to dye my hair without waking me up, then I guess I deserve it.” 🙃

“Could you at least let me wash my dishes? Or put toothpaste on my own toothbrush?” 😕

“No and Yes. Okay?”

“I want to tie my shoelaces too.”

“You can do one shoe.” 😉

“Whatever.” 🙄🥰

Gets you out and about

Whether it’s joining him on a grocery run or just walking around the block

Sanemi knows a change of scenery can refresh and remove the monotony of stress

He’ll even coax you into photoshoots

“Stop. You need a picture underneath that tree.”

“Wait, the sunlight is framing your face so beautifully.”

“Let’s take a selfie together.”

Not bc he loves being your personal photographer 🥴, but bc he sees how much you brighten at his softness 🥺

Sees how happy his explicit (albeit occasionally disgruntled) affection makes you

… maybe selfies aren’t so bad after all

I've shipped the VVV polycule for awhile, it's always been in at least my top ten since the pilot.

I 100% ship Velvette with Carmilla AND Carmilla with Zestial which has resulted in me shipping a very chaotic hateship threesome of Velvette x Carmilla x Zestial

Then I adore Chaggie but also love the idea of Velvette officially inserting themselves into their relationship by exploiting the fact they're both disaster gay in one form or another

Now I'm thinking of Velvette being part of not one, not two but THREE throuples without the others knowing so one day someone yells out "You two! Come get your bitchy girlfriend!"

Then it's immediately followed by Zestial, Carmilla, Valentino, Vox, Vaggie and Charlie all turning to look then immediately followed by them recreating that one Spiderman pointing meme

Alpha Legion are Space Marine versions of Cukoo birds. They see a human they like, if there's a resident Astartes they wait for them to leave, disguise themselves (lore seems to imply they can basically shape shift their armor or otherwise somehow take on other legions appearance), and happily insert themselves so they can get some love and attention until the Actual resident Space Marine returns. For maximum comedy potential they overestimate how long the resident has left for and the human comes home to the pointing Spiderman meme.

Yes I'll vibe with this

You looked at your marine confused as he was being oddly overly affectionate but you watch him walk into the room and then your world eater snarled as the one holding you snarled back and you looked between them. You were very confused as they looked exactly the same.

You let out a shriek and the one holding you drops you before bolting and your World Eater roars after him before rushing back and picking you up. He's very protective for the rest of the night.

shy shadow librarian meeting the shadow monster that lives in the readers room after sneaking into it: *insert Spiderman pointing meme* no but actually- I imagine the two shadow monsters would be so competitive trying to get the readers attention that they both would do anything ;)

The two of them are disgusted that the other one exists and they're trying to get with you--they thought they were the only creature of the night vying for your attention! This can only call for one course of action: your shadow roommate plagues you with filthy wet dreams that have you desiring a presence you can't even put a shape to, while your library friend leaves you books to read that contain only the dirtiest, smuttiest smut scenes that all feature human/monster romances.

And I can imagine the library shadow gets so unbearably jealous over their competition getting to share a room with you--it might even lead them to convince you to stay in the library after closing when you're studying late at night, and bringing you into the forbidden book section to show you all the fascinating books they don't let normal students read. You might accidentally summon a demon from a necronomicon or find the archangel professor's banned tomes, but more likely you'll peer into the book they've wanted you to read since they first fell in love with you; one that contains an incantation that binds a shadow to a host, allowing them to finally follow you wherever you go and allowing them to see you whenever your shadow appears <3 Your roommate won't be too happy to see them show up when you return, but at least they'll finally be able to fight for your hand properly.

the puppet oneshot really puts things into perspective bc neji transferring to quartz makes sense. that is a man who thrives in a chaotic environment. he needs interesting people to surround him and inspire him.

chui being so intimidatingly good at performing that he unintentionally creates a univeil purge that resulted in a dwindling amber (and even quartz) population would actually make neji leave even faster. chui being in amber and unintentionally creating an environment where everyone is either scared or quitting or failing to keep up with him, rather than bringing their own personalities and creativity to the table... it would only be a matter of time before that bores neji. there's only so much you can experiment with with only one lead actor

(plus amber considers neji a freak, which, fine, I don't think neji cares, but it's such a stark contrast to quartz who tolerate if not encourage neji's creativity. the year he transferred was still probably rough on quartz bc they also lost tsuki, so at that point I think they'd just be like, "🤷‍♀️ we don't really have any other ideas, might as well let this weirdo do his thing")

but it's also hilarious to me because chui is going all "gods and mortals" metaphor to neji and wants him to come back, and when you read that scene for the first time, you'd think that they've known each other for so long, but neji was only really classmates with chui for... less than half a year?

like. imagine if kisa left quartz after the summer performance and suzu was like, "but we were so good together!!!" but they've only been in two plays at this point. lol.

chui is out there thinking only neji can make Art™ with him while neji isn't even thinking about chui bc he's busy prying fumi and kai's brains for his script. it's also funny bc like... if chui had just made friends, neji might have stayed. not for chui's sake, but bc chui Being Human and having actual relationships meant that other amber actors also become Interesting Humans in neji's eyes. but he didn't do that bc nobody is worth it to him. meanwhile fumi is out there getting mad that tsuki is gone but at least he has People Skills and even if kai isn't on his Level™ yet at that point, fumi will at least try to make things work.

neji and fumi to each other: hey okay, you obviously have your hangups but you make this class challenging/interesting. insert spiderman pointing at each other meme

#mine musings #liveblogging jj #jack jeanne #these two are soooooooo funny #amber is so gloomy in puppet like no wonder neji left. the gothic mansion was fun but that man would rather be in a circus #he yearns for clowns. chaos all around him

About the spiderman au:

Who fell in love first? Also who did they fall in love with (the civilian or alter ego version)?

Also do they ever reveal to each other? (I think it would be silly if they accidentally revealed to each other and it was the spiderman pointing meme like “wait YOURE spiderman? I’M *insert venom slimes name*” )

Gonna split this into their civillian vs alter egos because Mariana has a different relation ship with Slime than with Venom and vice versa.

also this has also gotten really long and i've only been able to answer like half your ask so this is probably gonna be a part one... anyway all i've written so far is under the cut :>

Mariana fell first softly and found herself reaching out for Slime's hand just for their fingers to brush. content with keeping this crush at arm's length, it would only complicate things further, what with them pratically co-parenting Juana at this point and being an undercover superhero (and studying for her future career as an investigative journalist).

in comparison, Slime fell so hard and suddenly it felt like a pit in his stomach. he never noticed anything until he looked up at Mariana while at the breakfast table, and saw how the sun shon like a halo around her hair. and sorta stares for an awkward amount of time, looks down at their fingers intertwined and thinks oh

and then they make out

Spider-Man!Mariana thinks Venom is kinda gross at least at first becuase being a writhing and contorting black sludge can do that. she tries to just ignore him as impossible as that turned out to be

they do get to know each other better though, they just kept running into each other on rooftops and eventually, Mariana began to understand that Venom was deeply, deeply afraid, be it the man underneath who was possessed by an alien entity, or the alien itself, which found itself on an unknown planet.

Mariana finds a friend in Venom, the only other guy in the city who understands her, a person who hides everyday of their life and lie to the ones they love to protect them

Venom!Slime really looks up to Spider-Man, he's the kinda guy that was in the business for all the right reasons, to save innocent people at the wrong place at the wrong time. Slime/ Venom isn't like that. he's selfish, desperate and a fuck up. so seeing Spider-Man, someone so heroic and good, a person Slime aspires to be, but can't dream of ever being. because he was ruined from the start.

So he decides to bother Spider-Man. first, purely out of excitement and an unknown draw to the hero. then because he just likes to annoy him, then because they just so happen to frequent the same pizza place, then because he just wanted someone to talk to.

Slime begins to realise that Spider-Man is just as lonely as him, sure, Slime's got Venom, but there's only so much conversation with a being driven by impulse and an unending hunger. speaking to another human being like him, someone who always has something to hide- made him feel like a person for the first time in a long time.

WHICH IS A VERY LONG EXPLAINATION TO JUST SAY: Slime loves deeply and intensely very quickly (with Spider-Man first, and then with Mariana), while Mariana's love simmers like a cooked home meal (in a way he's always loved Charlie) and became friends with Venom. They both love juanaflippa more than life.

#mcyt #qsmp #qsmp au #spiderman au #slimecicle #el mariana #slimeriana #juanaflippa #guys if i sound really mean about Slime #thats not me thats his self hatred #sorry #i feel like i didn't write enough about mariana so if youve got questions pls send em my way #part one #fliporiana #misclick duo #venom!slime #Spider-Man!Mariana #character analysis

Breakdown/analysis of the old Danny-Vlad body swap nickelodeon comic ¨Bring Back My Body to Me!¨

For those who don't know, Danny Phantom had some comics that got published in the early 2000's in the Nickelodeon magazine. One of them being a comic that involves Danny and Vlad switching bodies written by two writers of the show, Marty Isenberg and Sib Ventress + another writer.

You can find the full comic pages here in the DP Wikia: https://dannyphantom.fandom.com/wiki/Nickelodeon_Magazine

I'm writing this post to make some commentary of the comic since it haven't seen any post talking about it. It has some things i found funny and others interesting. The screencaps were taken from the DP Wikia.

Let's start:

Okay, so the first page introduces us to what Danny and Vlad are planning to do in the story. Danny is going to a dance and trying to ask Paulina while Vlad is stealing from the Fright Knight. For some reason Danny is still trying to get Paulina to pay him attention. I wonder when this comic was intended to take place since Danny's crush for Paulina was something from very early in the series and over time he got over it. Also why is Vlad in human form in the Ghost World? He later transforms but there isn't any reason for him to be as Masters in here.

Okay, but here is a thing that is inaccurate: Danny doesn't beat Vlad because he is more powerful than him, that rarely happens. Danny usually beats Vlad by either tricking him (Maternal Instincts) or with someone else helping him (Kindred Spirits). I think the only time he does this is in ¨Phantom Planet¨ by freezing Vlad, and that itself is for a minute.

Why Plasmius does have dark pupils in this comic. It's super cursed. It would have been less of a problem if they were something like white instead of black.

This is an interesting concept to me because i don't recall the series exploring the concept of what happens if a human-ghost hybrid uses powers or amulets that are intended for full ghosts use only. I feel like it is an idea i haven't seen much done in fanfics neither. It opens to the idea of the difference between full ghosts and halfas and how they react to the Ghost World.

I really like this narrator commentary about how ghosts are constanly showing up in Amity Park thanks to the Ghost Fenton Portal being open. The narration is funny in this comic.

I find it funny Danny using the mocking nickname ¨Plas¨ to refer to Plasmius in this panel. And Danny is so small. His head is the size Plasmius' hand. He is baby ghost size in comparison to others.

Okay, so when the two touch the spirit stealer at the same time their... spirits? get switched. This was a secondary effect that Vlad was warned about by the Fright Knight earlier. What i don't understand is what gets switched in here. Their consciousness/inner selfs? Their minds? It is interesting that these are represented in their ghosts forms and not in their human forms too.

From what i can guess is that the spirit stealer may have mixed their ghost halfs in some way since in the next panels their are both seen wearing each half of the amulet. Since it is intended to be a ¨glitch¨ that is how i think it works.

(Insert spiderman pointing meme here)

I kinda like this callback to ¨Splitting Images¨ episode. It is a nice detail that wasn't necessary for what it is a standalone comic but is still cool.

One thing i appreciate in this comic is how you can easily tell who is inside the body by the way they speak and their body language. You can see that Vlad is in Danny's body because of the detailed use of vocabulary that is so specific about Vlad. Or the way he refers to Dash after he pulls a prank on him. I also appreciate Sam pointing out why Vlad!Danny is wearing half of the amulet. It is weird that Vlad didn't pick up that he was wearing it until now. However, i think it does make sense in the context considering that he changed bodies with a 14 year old.

Okay, i don't know why there is suddenly a timer for this and how the Fright Knight knows about this, unless something like this happened before. I suppose is one of those ¨ghost amulet plot convinience logic¨ things. By the way, i do like Fright Knight's role in this comic. He is pretty cool in here.

It's weird that Vlad doesn't consider what Danny is telling him here. You would think that he would get suspicious after he saw how he only had half of the amulet and switched bodies with Danny but he doesn't question it too much. It does make sense to an extent though. Vlad probably believes that it just some trick to make him give his half of the amulet. He would be skeptical of what Danny is telling him.

They only had to put the pieces back together? That easy? Huh, well, okay then.

Go Fright Knight, kick his ass.

While Dash getting scared is fun, i'm not a fan how Danny usually gets in trouble or bad ending in some episodes just because. I kinda could make a a bit of exception in this one since Dash got thrown into baskball ring for something that it wasn't that serious. Still, it something that bothers me.

In all i do enjoy this comic. While it has plot holes from what you can expect from this plot, it has some funny interactions and interesting concepts like amulets having a different effect in halfas. Part of me wonders how interactions with other characters would play out in this scenario, like Vlad!Danny interacting with Jack or Danny!Vlad with Skulker. had the comic been longer.

𝕐𝕠𝕦'𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕖 𝕒 𝕗𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜

𝔸𝕟𝕕 𝕀'𝕝𝕝 𝕜𝕖𝕖𝕡 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕒𝕟𝕪… ⋭

…

(so, where to begin? i guess from the simple fact, that i wanted to do smth fun with this clean-cut parallel. at first, i wanted to make some quick edits, but then, i decided what the heck. i might just re-draw it! *or sort of re-draw it anyways*

the shippy stuff is shippy, but really it was hard not to be all like *insert dicaprio pointing meme* when i was reading the venom comic, and flash just pulled a batman on me. beat jack up, n’ then instead of killing him, like he wanted to, he spared him. took him in his arms all gently-like n’ carried his sorry ass into the dawn. like man, it just hit the cords within me! i was all like oohhh, it's like in one of my most fav scarecrow issues! i wasn't expecting this from the comic, even less so from flash, who always had a bit of bipolar resolute, when it came to jack. 'he wanna kill him, he wanna kill him not'. that sort of thing. yet, this moment kind of shown, that he prob will always find a reason to talk himself out of putting him down.

that's aside, another part of why i love those stories, is that both issues felt personal. both, jon n’ jack had personal grudges, both batman and flash were struggling with personal darkness within them. both overcame it, n' literally had to beat up their personal walking-talking nightmare *flash even refers to jack as that later on*. like, it was pretty great, honestly. all that emotional baggage, uncanny kinships with their own twisted mirror, which resulted in them actually feeling sympathy for scarecrow n' jack. giving them a small speech, that they couldn’t hear *bc unconscious*, sort of implying that maybe ‘they’re not beyond help’. it's almost bitter-sweet. even if most people would argue, that both jon n’ jack are way-way too far gone at that point. even if 'solution' sounds too unrealistic to be true. still, if someone like batman believes in you, then maybe, just maybe there is a chance. n’ if someone like flash spares your life, even though, he’s nothing like bruce *he actually killed people before*, then perhaps, there is smth beyond projection, which made him do it.

all 4 characters are very different, n’ thb the context in everyone’s motivations n’ struggles are very different too, but i love how bruce n’ flash came to the same conclusion. took the same route with their respective twinky ghoul. showing mercy is noble, n’ it’s pretty sweet tbh. one of my fav tropes in fiction is when the hero/protagonist shows kindness/empathy toward their villain *who in most cases doesn’t ‘deserve it*. that whole cop out thing about 'evil should be punished by death' in fiction really takes away the romantism n' bendiness of fiction as whole tbh. esp with heroes. they supposed to be able to do 'impossible', including 'forgive the unforgiving'. this is why i prob will always advocate for the ‘no kill’ rule for super-heroes. i mean, it makes you have moments like those. smth that is actually emotional n’ also shows the cracks in heroes themselves, bc usually they can only truly relate to their rogues, someone who is usually designed to be a warped up reflection of hero’s own weaknesses, struggles or traumas. n’ while i always see jack o’lantern as spiderman’s villain *he’s one of oldies, a classic villain after all*, i suppose, that this version of jack was tailored for flash’s venom specifically, n’ i *unexpectedly* i loved it. daddy's issues run deep in this one for both of them. meanwhile, bruce be out there lecturing jon's school bullies, after he nearly killed them. what a man lol.

now, the comic panels themselves. just for better visualisation.

i didn’t include the first bit in my lil art thingy above, but i love how not only the venom mirrors batman in actions, but also how they’re even facing opposite sides, playing around with nearly opposite color pallets in each fight too. caters to the mood, but also it just looks nice side by side tbh. the blue/black/grey for batman, and orange/dark brown/yellow for venom. a dark knight / soldier n' maskless halloween villain. this prob the only point, where they connect narratively n' thematically, but it's a major one.

anyho', i didn't had a hardcore goal to re-draw those scenes to a t, just make it recognizable for the most part. but it was fun! also gave me an execuse to stare at those comic panels some more.

as for the song, it popped out inside my head kinda randomly. but it fits them, i think. even the tune itself adds to it. somewhat sad n’ slow. but the meaning of it, not fully hopeless. at least, they will always have someone there for them. after all, guys like jon n’ jack will always come back, seeking ‘their hero’, hungry for punishment or other things. n’ for someone as crippled as bruce or flash, it might not be the worst thing, really. usually, the hero is stuck in the same miserable 'unchanging', unwinnable situation as their villains are. be it outside forces, fate or sickness, that keeps them bond. it's still better to try and make the best of it, right?)

PIDW-still-a-sheep!Luo Binghe meets SVSSS!Shen Qingqiu

An AU where when PIDW!Luo Binghe is pushed off the cliff into the Endless Abyss, he ends up falling through a sudden rip in the dimension and falls onto the ground right in front of a mourning Shen Qingqiu (aka Shen Yuan) kneeling in front of the sword mound on Qing Jing peak.

Shen Yuan: !!!! My sheep has returned?! But still as a sheep?! System, what is this AU? How did my sheep somehow clear the Endless Abyss arc in 2 months???

Now imagine Luo Bingmei (Shen Yuan's actual sheep) when he emerges from the Endless Abyss 3 years later only to discover that his shizun has not just found a replacement but one that looks IDENTICAL to Luo Binghe... with the same name?!

I imagine this is like finding out that your wife has been cheating on you with your long lost identical twin brother.

(And now imagine when Demon Emperor!Luo Bingge coming through with Xin Mo only to see 2 more version of him in the same world... insert that spiderman pointing meme.)

#svsss ideas #svsss #svsss au #scumbag self saving system #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #luo binghe #luo bingge #scum villian self saving system #luo bingmei #When PIDW!Luo Binghe is pushed into the Endless Abyss he falls through a dimensional rip into SVSSS world au

Sorry for the negativity, but something that's always made me feel disillusioned about the whole pansexual discourse is that I see the phrase "pansexuals are biphobic and transphobic" alongside extremely similar talking points both from otherwise far-left, pro-queer people trying to present themselves as radical and progressive, and those old anti-MOGAI, anti-nonbinary, transmedicalist, "anti-SJW", etc. blogs.

Like, you have one group of panphobes who are saying "pansexuality is bad because that's the progressive viewpoint, actually" and another group that go "pansexuality is bad because it's a cringe Tumblr SJW identity" but despite supposedly having entirely different stances, here they are saying nearly the exact same anti-pan talking points. You kinda have to wonder why that is.

exactly that. insert that spiderman meme here. queer folks who hate pansexuality more often than not are also some other kind of queerphobic, usually transphobes/terfs, and think tumblr ruined queerness (but that doesn’t stop them from using it lol) or that mogai queers make the community look bad or that self-identification and validity are harmful or think science/academia is the final say on queerness or or or or. just a lot of general shitty views on queerness that go beyond their panphobia and it’s very telling. like, their panphobia is a one off. it’s a product of a foundational hatred of queer people, a backwards, oppressive view of queerness, and a desperate desire to be one of the good queers. they’re just a sad, hateful group of people tbh. (and no worries, i didn’t find the message negative. it’s a good point to be made!)

*Insert Spiderman meme here*

April had received Leo’s call earlier that day, something about needing to have an important meeting, and that she would explain better once April gets to the lair. She walked out of her apartment and made her way down the hall. She hated having to cancel her plans with Jones, especially since they were supposed to jam together after their study session. But Leona had made it sound like this meeting was important, so here she was in front of her best friend's apartment. Even though she had a key, she moved her hand to knock on the door. Her hand never made contact, as the door flung open revealing Casey Jones to be the one opening. April’s hand was still in the air as they stared at each other, before quickly putting it down. “Hey O’Neil, what you doing here?” Casey asked with a bit of rush and confusion in his voice. April returned the greeting with a small smile and cleared her voice “Hey umm, I just wanted to say I won't make it to our study session today” She said quickly dragging out the last syllable with an awkward smile. To April’s surprise Casey quickly jumped in with a face that looked more relieved than disappointed. “Dude, I was just going to your place to tell you the same thing” he said “My mom texted me saying she needs some help at the restaurant”. April’s eyebrows raised with a little worry, “Oh, is everything okay?”, she asked. Casey quickly picked up on her worry, and immediately calmed her down saying it was nothing serious.

The two of them walked over to the stairwell and walked out of the building together. As they stood at the entrance of their apartment building they looked awkwardly at each other. “So I'm going this way,” Casey said, pointing towards his family restaurant a block away. “Yeah and I’m going this way” She said, pointing in the complete opposite direction, “so… um see ya Jones”.

April quickly walked towards the lair, half worried about whatever tia Carmen needed help with. She didn’t dwell much on it as she soon reached ally with the sewer cover, it was the same she the turtles had used when she helped them take Master Splinter to the lair, after the whole ordeal with Shredhead. She looked around to check for other people passing by, before determining the cost was clear. She descended deep into the sewer tunnels, using her phone’s flashlight to light her way as she walked towards the lair. The turtle kept the sewers surprisingly clean all things considered.

As she entered she got a good view of the living room, Raph and Mikey were drawing while completely ignoring the movie playing on the tv. Mikey noticed her presence immediately and turned around to greet her with a big smile. Raph followed suit with a small wave, his face almost blank but April could read the friendliness in it. She waved and smiled back, as Donny came into the room. He said a quick “hey” before turning towards the hallway leading to the dojo and Master Splinter’s bedroom. She set down her backpack on the couch, and took a bit of a look around the lair. “Where’s Leo?” She asked. Mikey looked back up from his drawing, “in the kitchen”, he nodded his head towards the kitchen door. “Oooh scary,” April said, causing both turtles to chuckle a little.

She entered the kitchen and low and behold there stood the blue banded turtle, currently busy preparing something on the counter. “Hey Lee, what you making?” April asked as she walked over to lean against the counter. Leo’s face turned to make eye contact with her friend, her usual calm smile clear on her face. “Just some apple slices,” she said before turning her attention back to her hands, “it’s the only thing I’m allowed to prepare by myself after all”. April let out a laugh, she remembered the horror stories Mikey would tell her of times Leo had, quote, “destroyed his kitchen”. Still by the side of the turtle lies an already finished plate of apple slices chopped to resemble bunnies. April walked away from the counter and goes to sit at the table. “So what’s so important about this meeting?” she asked as rested her elbow on the table and placed her head on her hand. “There’s been some new developments involving the purple dragons, and…” Leona paused what she was doing to look back at April over her shoulder “we have a new human friend”. This surprised April, the turtles had always been careful not to be discovered. She meeting them was just the result of a series of coincidences that led her to witness some of their fights with the foot, and a strange urge to follow Leo as she ran to save her father. Leo turned back to finish the snack, “He’s coming over today”, she continued “I figured it would be better if you two know each other”.

Leo finished up, and she and April walked out of the kitchen back to the living room holding the plates Leo had prepared. Donny had joined Mikey and Raph who were done drawing, and were finally paying attention to the tv. Leo set a plate down on the kotatsu table, before giving Raph and Mikey a pat in the head. The younger turtle immediately grabbed themselves an apple slice. April placed the second plate closer to the couch, as she sat down. A few moments of silence passed before Raph’s phone got a notification, the youngest turtle picked up his phone before quickly standing up and bolting out the lair, “He’s here!” April watched with surprise as the red banded turtle disappeared into the sewer tunnel, she turned her head to look at Leo, “Raph thinks he’s cool”, she explained. The human blonde let out a little chuckle, as she stood up to receive the new guy. Soon enough two sets of footsteps approached the entrance, one much lighter than the other. Finally Raph appeared again holding three pizza boxes, “Casey brought pizza!”, he announced. April didn’t have a second to ponder on the name when a tan guy walked in behind Raph.

The one and only Casey Jones stood besides the youngest turtle, hockey bag strapped to his shoulder. The two human’s eyes met, both freezed, eyes wide open. Everything stood still for a second before both human’s arms shot upwards pointing at each other. “What the fuck are you doing here?!”Casey asked first. “What the fuck are YOU doing here?”April answered. The two humans continued to throw each other accusations at an increasing speed, leaving the four turtles to look between them like a tennis game. Ultimately it was Leo who interrupted them, “So you know each other?”, she asked. The humans looked over at the turtles, and April let out a sigh, “Guys, remember how I've told you about my friend Jones?” she asked in an exasperated tone, to which the turtles softly nodded their heads. “This is Jones”, she said pointing to the boy in question, who responded with a peace sign. The gears inside of Leo's head turned for a hot second before her nonexistent eyebrows raised in realization. April regularly mentioned her best friend Jones, who’d help her with calculus and she’d help with history, who played guitar, and lived in the same building as her. “Oh! Well how were we supposed to know?!” she exclaimed, making the humans let out a laugh.

The six of them sat around the living room, already digging into the pizzas Casey had brought, while he explained to April who he came to meet the turtles. Raph would occasionally add commentary to Casey’s story which surprised April since the little turtle was usually quiet. Casey continued as he got to the part where they arrived at the lair and Leo pointed one of her katanas at him. The turtle in question looked a little embarrassed, but April knew she was only protecting her brothers. After Casey was done, April gave him a quick rundown on how she befriended the turtles and how she’s been getting some defense lessons from Leo. “You should get some too”, she says in a teasing tone, as she knows Casey is prone to getting into fights. Casey let out a chuckle and turned his gaze back to his pizza slice. “I think he has it covered for the most part” Leona said calmly, “his style is a bit unrefined but he’s effective”. April turned to look at the human boy, who seemed to be avoiding her eyes as much as possible. “Yeah, you should have seen how he fought those dragon goons! he was holding his own against eight!” Raph added. April felt her eyebrow twitch, as she turned to look at the youngest turtle, “You saying Jones here was messing with the dragons?” she asked Raph in a sickly sweet voice. “Mm-hmm, he’s like a total vigilante”, from the corner of her eyes April could see Casey giving ‘stop’ signals to Raph. She took a deep breath, and returned her eyes towards the ‘vigilante’, “Jose Armando Casey Jones Gomez!” she said. Casey sheepishly turned his gaze at the blonde, his lips pulled tight into a line. “¿Cómo es que andas de vigilante?” she asked, switching to spanish as she usually did when talking with Casey. “Wey no voy a dejar que se metan al barrio” Casey defended himself. The two of them went back and forth, the turtles could only catch a few words, but they got the gits of their conversation.

Finally their discussion died down as Leo explained they would all be working together to fight the purple dragons, giving Donny a segway to the main point of the meeting. “The pieces Leo and Raph brought back with Casey’s help, seemed to all be for different weapons”, they said, pulling out some of said tech pieces, all with ‘Baxter Technologies’ written on them. “Tho it seems to be some of Stockman’s older work as it’s not branded under ‘Oroku Industries’”. Leona looked at the tech parts intently, so they were building weapons, that much was clear, but what did the Shredder and the foot get from working with the dragons? Donny pulled up his laptop and turned his screen towards the rest “this is some footage i got from the security cameras in front of what looks like the purple dragons base”, the screen showed a warehouse, cars going in and out, people either patrolling around or just hanging out drinking and smoking. “I say we go over there and teach them not to mess with us” Casey said, his dislike towards the dragons obvious. “Not so fast Case, we need all the information we can have” Leo said, “that means stealth, us turtles will go in and see what we can find”. Leo’s brothers nodded, April turned to look at Casey knowing he’d object. “What about us?”, the vigilante said “I can’t exactly let you guys do everything”. Leo’s eyes met with Casey, for the third time Casey felt himself be entrapped by her red eyes as the corners of her mouth turned upwards, “Well, we’ll need a distraction”. Casey’s face turned into a playful smirk, not looking away from Leo’s eyes, “I think I can manage that”. Leo’s smile grew bigger, before turning her gaze to Donny.

They decided to better plan their mission another day, as Donny wanted to find more information as to when it would be best for them to take action. And so the mood relaxed a bit as they went back to finish the pizza, Mikey and Raph telling Casey about how bad April was when she first started training, and April trying desperately to justify herself. Soon enough the two humans deemed it late enough so they said their goodbyes, asking to be notified of anything important and went back topside.

The two walked next to the other in comfortable silence, with an air of ease that came from a whole life of friendship. “So this is what you’ve been up to these past two years”, Casey said breaking the silence. “Yeah, i wanted to tell you but they asked me to keep it a secret”, April answered. Casey simply hummed in understanding as the two continued walking. Another stretch of silence was broken by Casey, “mi ama pensó que nos habíamos peleado”. April let out a laugh that was quickly joined by Casey. “it’s not like we stopped talking”, April said between laughs. “I don’t know dude, I guess she just found it weird you weren’t staying over as often”. The two continued laughing, as they reached their apartment building. “Speaking of which, wanna stay over at my place tonight?” April asked.

“Sure, why not?” said the vigilante.
